Description: "Parallel computing involves the division of a complicated program into smaller tasks which are then performed simultaneously by several processors, thus reducing the total execution time dramatically. However this process raises several new issues, including task allocation and communication between processors, which do not appear in normal serial computing."--BOOK JACKET.

"Containing a selection of invited review chapters, this book covers issues central to parallel computing algorithms: features chapters on both general analysis and practical applications, places particular emphasis on a variety of applications in engineering, designed specifically to increase awareness of the potential of parallel computing amongst engineers and scientists."--BOOK JACKET.
